055XWNB Wilderness Tripod Key Features

Long Center Column For Extra Adjustment

Four Different Leg Angle Pre-sets

Four pre-set independent leg angles -- 23°, 45°, 65° and 88° -- give the tripod great positioning flexibility and versatility, and allow all intermediate heights from the stated minimum to maximum levels to be reached. Stability is assured at all four angles by the spring-loaded step mechanism. Each of the legs can be set to a different angle of spread for more flexible, versatile positioning and to help keep camera equipment well-balanced over the tripod's center of gravity.

Quick action leg locks with new improved design

Three-Faced Center Column Design

Center column with an innovative three-faced design eliminates column rotation and increases tripod stability.

Low-Angle Adapter

Low-angle adapter built in the center column for ground level shots.

Two Leg Warmers

Padded grips on two of the legs for added comfort and protection from the cold when setting up and breaking down.

Rapid-Action Lever Leg Locks

Quick-action leg locks allow you to quickly and quietly set the tripod into position. The ergonomics of the quick action leg locks has also been greatly improved.

Rubber feet with retractable steel spikes

Manfrotto 804RC2 Pan/Tilt Head

The 804RC2 3-way photo head is a 3-way photo head constructed of ultra-durable and lightweight technical polymer. The 804RC2 easily withstands the daily rigors of the professional photographer. A unique spring feature has been added to the 804RC2 to assist in the tilt motion of the head to compensate for heavier, off-center loads. Ergonomic and newly designed handles fit comfortably in the hands, while the standard quick release plate fits snugly in the low-profile receiver.

804RC2 Pan/Tilt Head Key Features

Safety Spring

The 804RC2 head is the first head in the world to use a counter spring system to help protect your equipment. A fixed spring built into the forward/back tilt axis helps to absorb the shock of the full camera weight from crashing down. The spring also makes it easier to position the camera on this axis since it opposes some of the camera weight.

Lightweight

Compared to the old 3030, the 804RC2 is 20% lighter thanks to a new material called Adapto specifically developed by Manfrotto for the use with high-end, professional imaging equipment.

Modern, Ergonomic Design

A plus rounding of many of the traditional hard edges produces a fresh and elegant design. The new handles are designed to fit comfortably in your hand. There's even a new coating on the quick-release lever that is more durable and scratch resistant than ever!

Quick-Release Plate With Secondary Safety Catch

Enables cameras to be quickly interchanged, or go from tripod to hand-held and back rapidly.
